Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[GoHawks]

Experts? You know more about basketball than Lunardi lol. Look at the 2019 NET rankings and then the seeds for the 2019 tourney. It's basically chalk

4th team Houston a 3 seed. Basically chalk? Lol

Interesting comparison found on HR.

Xavier Foster: 2 GP, 10 Min, 4 pts (0-1 3pt), 1 Def Rb, 0 Ast, 0 Blk, 0 Stl
Keegan Murray: 2 GP, 36 Min, 21 pts (3-7 3pt), 3 Off Rb, 7 Def Rb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blks


Foster is riding the bench for one of the worst power conference teams in the nation.

Murray is contributing for a top 3 team in the country.

You want prohm playing guys long minutes when they are coming back from an injury? Best to bring them back slower and avoid reinjury.

It's funny to see posters not go on record if they think someone will be better than someone else, yet like to bump years old posts of comparing players.
LOL

You said you would take Griffin over Garza before Griffin had even played a collegiate game. Dont be bitter because you made stupid posts in the past.

Anyone that's watched these two teams with no bias would take Young over Garza.
I'd take an unproven Zion Griffin over Garza.
I've seen Garza play, he just doesn't run the floor well enough. Now, if he can develop into being a great banger in the post like Jared Homan, then he'll be ok. I haven't seen Fran's players develop enough though to even think that's possible.

I hope Francis continues to recruit bigs like Woody and Garza and Steve recruits guys like Solomon, Cam, and now Zion.

I hope you keep getting Garza type players and we keep getting more Lard type players.

Yikes! The Cyclones have had weird fascinations with Lard and Conditt.

IIRC you called Garza a bad or poor Woodbury.

Wait you were the one that said Garza shouldn't be a starter at Iowa lol

Benji said that. The fact you're not saying your previous username is confirming that's who you are. Not complicated stuff to connect the dots

For some reason I thought of Mad Fran's wife when I saw this...

I honestly bet nobody on here is watching Iowa play some team they're going to kill tonight. Even I have no desire to watch it. We're all in football mode IMO

Also what is with the continued regression of Conditt? I thought by year 3 he was going to be a double double machine at minimum.

Added some weight, but it wasn't 'good' weight.

Haven't read the entire thread, but have to give Garza props for working his a** off to become the best he can be. It's not like he is blessed with athletic ability. He just has learned his trade very well almost in a Niang type of way. The comparisons to first year players here at ISU are apples to oranges. When Garza was young it was said his vertical was sheet of paper. It might be 5 sheets now, but he knows how to position himself and in the college game you don't need to jump to the rafters to be successful. I would hope our young players with talent will work this hard to become the best they can be.
